Hogwarts: I'm the only cultivator here!

Of course, to avoid any accidents, Ye Feng decided to leave only one person behind, a decision Zhang Qiu agreed to. So, as they rushed towards the readily available food, the Hufflepuff senior with the rifle was dismayed to discover that in the blink of an eye, she was the only one left in the entire group.

"No! I can't give up! I absolutely refuse to let someone else take away the delicious food that my friends and I worked so hard to get!"

With unwavering resolve, the Hufflepuff senior dropped her gun and leaped with a fearless spirit, flying two or three meters to land on the shimmering gift box. The next moment, as she held the box and smiled, a gunshot rang out.

"Sigh, I still softened in the end."

"That's a gift box! It contains more than just desserts; there might even be a powerful weapon inside. But what can I do? My sister is so kind-hearted. As long as she's happy."

Although the gift box was gone, Ye Feng and his group still managed to get a few kills, so overall it was still pretty good. As Ye Feng and his group dealt with those Hufflepuff classmates and continued on their way, Hermione, Ron, and Harry met as if by fate.

In another world without Ye Feng, the three could be considered best friends. Although they jokingly called Harry and Ron Hermione's hindrance, their teamwork was still very good.

Therefore, under Hermione's command, the three managed to take over a high point that was already occupied, and this high point was near Hogwarts Castle, which allowed them to get a lot of kills after occupying it.

More importantly, in the minds of the other people at Hogwarts, Ye Feng would most likely be there if Hermione and Harry were together. So even though they didn't see Ye Feng, they all assumed that he was with Harry and the others.

Ye Feng and Hermione had already made quite a splash in the previous events. Before this one started, they had already planned to take down Ye Feng and his group first, so that they wouldn't have a chance to win the championship. Now that they've teamed up, how could they possibly give up this opportunity?

Then, a red firework slowly rose and then exploded.

After the fireworks exploded, everyone who saw them began to gather in that direction. Those who had already gathered started discussing how to capture Harry and his group while minimizing casualties.

Seeing this, Dumbledore, who was not far away, was tempted. After all, who wouldn't want to win the championship? And as long as Ye Fengqing was eliminated, he would be the one with the best chance of winning the championship among the remaining people. Therefore, he directly became the commander-in-chief of the 'Allied Forces' without hesitation.

Harry and Ron, on the high ground, were instantly filled with despair when they saw Dumbledore become the Allied Commander. Even Hermione felt a deep sense of powerlessness at the sight, after all, that was Dumbledore.

"No, we can't just give up like this. If Ye Feng were here, he would definitely be able to find a way to break the current situation, and might even be able to take this opportunity to win the championship."

"Get up, you two, get up right now!"

"Isn't it just Headmaster Dumbledore? Ye Feng made Headmaster Dumbledore suffer so many times, so we can do the same."

Hearing Hermione's words, Harry and Ron finally cheered up. They then took stock of all their equipment and weapons and came to a conclusion.

With the weapons they currently possess, even if Dumbledore didn't give orders and simply let the others charge, the three of them wouldn't last long, because of their luck...

"Wait, what's that sitting on Harry's butt?" Just as Hermione was about to fall into despair again, she suddenly noticed that the 'stone' Harry was sitting on seemed a little different.

Upon hearing Hermione's words, Harry immediately stood up, but quickly squatted down again, because a large number of people had gathered below the high ground they had occupied, and who knew if there were any skilled snipers among them.

After Harry got up, Hermione crouched down and walked to the 'stone'. After examining the stone closely, Hermione's chestnut-colored eyes lit up with a dazzling light.

"This is... a supply box!"

"what!"

Upon hearing Hermione's words, Ron and Harry couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, because the supply box was something that many participants in the competition coveted the most.

The supply crate is just like the gift boxes dropped by monsters. It not only contains more powerful weapons, but also food that can restore health and tastes very good. It is even a unique delicacy during this festival.

The only difference between supply boxes and gift boxes is that you don't need to do anything with them. They will randomly appear anywhere in Hogwarts. All you have to do is find them and open them.

Of course, because the contents of this item are harder to find than those easier-to-find little Easter eggs (like the plum blossom pastry Zhang Qiu got before), the contents of this item are also better.

Therefore, they were instantly stunned when Hermione said that the 'stone' Harry had been sitting on for several minutes was actually a supply crate.

"Quick! Open it up and take a look. Maybe there's something inside that can turn our defeat into victory."

Upon hearing Ron's words, Hermione glanced at Harry, and after seeing Harry nod, Hermione immediately opened the box that had been disguised as a stone.

When the box was opened, Hermione, Harry, and Ron were all stunned, because the contents were somewhat unexpected.

It's not that the contents are bad, nor that they're too good, but rather that they're perfectly suited to their current situation, because there's a mortar and four boxes containing twelve shells.

To be honest, the mortar isn't one of the best weapons here because it fires in a parabolic trajectory. If you don't know how to adjust the canister, it's very difficult to hit the target. Unlike the RPG, which you can aim and fire directly, and even if you don't know how to aim, you can still hit the target roughly if you aim in the general direction.

However, it also has one advantage: it has plenty of spare ammunition, unlike RPGs which usually only have four or five rounds. So Harry and his friends were quite surprised to see this inside.

What surprised them even more was that, in addition to the mortar and ammunition, there was also a plate of six lotus flower cakes.

One lotus cake represents one drop of blood, meaning they now have twelve cannonballs and six drops of blood. Although this is still not enough to withstand the attack of the Hogwarts students led by Dumbledore, it might be enough to hold out until Ye Feng and his group arrive.

"Dumbledore's forces! Attack!!!"

"boom!"

"Da da da da da..."

With the sounds of artillery explosions and machine gun roars, the first ever high ground assault in Hogwarts history officially began. The intense gunfire resounded throughout Hogwarts. If Voldemort had been fortunate enough to witness this scene, it's unknown whether he would still have considered conquering Hogwarts.

Chapter 199 Dumbledore: Pull out my Italian cannon!

"Charge! Take Zero-One Hill and capture Ye Feng alive!!!"

"Kill him! Headmaster Dumbledore said that whoever can kill Ye Feng will get fifty points added to their house!"

"Hurry! We can't let our grandson get there first! A Gryffindor senior has made an offer. Whoever helps her win over Ye Feng will be rewarded with the latest flying broomstick!"

"Kill Ye Feng, steal the senior!"

...

Ye Feng: [?ヘ??]

Upon hearing the sounds of fierce fighting and Zhang Qiu's late arrival, Ye Feng immediately heard numerous shouts of killing directed at him. However, the problem was that he wasn't at the high point they were charging towards, so Ye Feng was puzzled as to what these people were doing.

"Immediate fire suppression from the southeast! They've run out of ammunition."

"Hurry! The assault team has charged up! They can't hold on anymore! Go and get the kills!"

"Whoosh~~ Boom!"

Before the man could finish speaking, a mortar shell rained down from the sky and landed in the middle of the assault team's formation, which was about to charge forward. As the mortar shell exploded, several flashes of white light disappeared.

"Hiss~ Where did this tough guy come from? He actually managed to drive a mortar. I remember that thing was equipped with a full twelve shells."

"Wait, that's not the point. The point is, how did they incur the wrath of the masses and get attacked by so many people? And even Dumbledore joined in."

Ye Feng: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

"Wait, Dumbledore!"

"They...don't think I'm on top, do they?"

Realizing this, Ye Feng quickly took out his binoculars and looked at the hilltop that had been bombed and was full of craters and smoke. Unfortunately, they were still quite a distance away from the hilltop, and since they were below and the hilltop was covered in smoke, they couldn't see it at all.

"No, the only ones who could attract Dumbledore's personal attack are Harry and his group. They might be the ones being attacked up there. I need to confirm." With that thought, Ye Feng slightly relaxed his Six Senses suppression, and as he did, his vision instantly increased dramatically.

After unleashing his six senses, Ye Feng's pupils contracted slightly, then a faint light flashed, and he saw the situation on the hilltop through the smoke. When he saw Hermione lying on the ground with her dark face but still full of determination, his heart ached slightly.

However, when he saw Harry and Ron lying on the ground, even worse off than Hermione, the pain was instantly washed away, and he almost burst out laughing.

Perhaps because Hermione was positioned further back as a strategist, while Harry and Ron, as the main fighting force, had to be pushed forward, the two of them were not only covered in dust and their clothes were torn, but even Ron's fiery red hair had been dyed black and was a bit curly and burnt.

Of course, given that his 'teammates' were being attacked, Ye Feng immediately stopped smiling and turned to Zhang Qiu with a serious expression, saying, "Sis, the ones being attacked up there are Hermione, Harry, and the other two."

"Although we don't know the specifics, they've almost run out of bullets and shells. We need to support them as soon as possible, or they'll definitely be eliminated."

When Cho Chang heard that Hermione and Harry were the ones being attacked, she became a little anxious. After all, Hermione and Harry were her very good friends, and she would never stand by and watch her friends be attacked.

Seeing Zhang Qiu immediately draw her gun and charge forward, Ye Feng quickly grabbed her and advised, "Sister, don't rush. They can hold out for now. Besides, we can't just charge straight in. We need a plan."

"Here's what we're going to do. See that protruding rock over there? Go set up your gun there and provide long-range support. Try to kill as many opponents as possible. I'll sneak up and give them a backstab. That should definitely disrupt their rhythm."

"Although we still can't defeat them this way, as long as we can hold out until the next teleportation, the crisis will naturally be resolved."

Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, Zhang Qiu thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. As Zhang Qiu walked towards the rock that was perfect for sniping, Ye Feng also rushed towards Dumbledore and the others at top speed.

Perhaps because almost everyone was on the battlefield at that moment, focused on the hilltop in front of them, they didn't notice that there was a 'tree' running wildly behind them on the hillside next to them.

It took Ye Feng nearly ten minutes to finally reach the rear of Dumbledore and the others. At that moment, Hermione and the others on the mountaintop fired their last cannonball, which successfully bought them a brief respite.

However, if there is no turning back, the next attack will be the time when they fall, because they are running out of bullets, and not only bullets, but also health. Even Hermione, who is in the best condition, only has six drops of health left.

Even if Harry and Ron took five of the six pastries and divided them up, they would now only have three and four drops of blood left respectively.

"Hermione, can we really hold out? Ye Feng and the others... haven't they noticed we're up there?"

Hermione, who had been full of confidence at first, was now wavering. They had been holding out for too long, and the surroundings were filled with smoke. From their high vantage point, they could hardly see the scene below. So, for a moment, Hermione didn't know how to answer Ron.

Therefore, after thinking for a moment, Hermione replied somewhat sadly, "I don't know either, but civilization has already killed so many people, even if they are eliminated now... they should still be able to get a good result."

That's what they said, but Hermione knew it was just to comfort herself. Although they had killed quite a few people, those people weren't stupid and wouldn't swarm at them. So, on average, there weren't that many.

"Don't be discouraged. It's just a game. You should think about it from a different perspective. We've already done a great job of holding out for so long under the fierce attack of the 'Allied Forces' led by Headmaster Dumbledore. You could say we've lost with honor."

"So stop thinking about whether we can hold on or not, just try to kill them as much as possible to increase our kill count. Maybe we can actually get a pretty good ranking in the end."

Hermione's words instantly lifted Ron and Harry's spirits, which had been low. Just as they were excitedly preparing to kill more enemies, they suddenly noticed that the 'Dumbledore's army' below had inexplicably become chaotic.

Because of the constant gunfire, Hermione and her group couldn't hear the reinforcements from Ye Feng's group. However, they soon saw the allied forces below split into two groups heading in two different directions, meaning there were enemies in those two locations as well. In other words…

"Counterattack! Our reinforcements have arrived!"

"boom!"

"Da da da... da da da da..."

The gunfire of Hermione and her group's counterattack rang out, and Dumbledore, who was in command, realized that Ye Feng and his group's reinforcements had arrived. Based on the previous teleportation, Dumbledore deduced that the next teleportation was likely to happen soon.

"No, it's a rare opportunity to corner these guys. If we don't deal with them now, it'll be hard to find another chance like this later." With that thought, Dumbledore looked at Filch beside him.

"Filch! Bring out my Italian cannon and blast them!"

Upon hearing Dumbledore's words, Filch was startled and quickly asked, "Headmaster, are we really going to use it? This Italian cannon only has one shell; once it's fired, it's gone."

"Fight! If we don't take care of them, no one will have a chance to win the championship. It's just a cannonball, right? There's still a long time before the end. We can go find another one after we've finished fighting them."

“Well… since you’ve said so, Principal, I guarantee I won’t miss!” With that, Felch pushed out the heavy Italian cannon, and Ye Feng, who was sniping from behind, had his pupils shrink slightly when he saw Felch push out the Italian cannon.

"Holy crap! Does it have to be this brutal?!"

Dumbledore: "Fire!!!"

Chapter 200 Life is impermanent

"boom!"

A huge explosion rang out. Ye Feng, who was pinned down by the machine gun fire and unable to lift his head, could only watch helplessly as a massive fireball rose from the hilltop where Hermione and the others were. Clearly, they had been eliminated by the immense power of the Italian cannon.

And that was indeed the case. After the cannons roared, Ye Feng briefly connected with the formation using his divine sense, and then he saw Hermione and the other two, looking disheveled and bewildered, sitting in the restaurant.

Seeing this, Ye Feng's heart stirred slightly. Then, a flash of light appeared, and Hermione and the other two were instantly restored to their clean state. Almost at the same time, Hermione's face lit up with a bright smile because she had received a telepathic message from Ye Feng.
